2005 C230 SS
![Exclamation](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon4.gif)
Well my friends after just about 4 years of owning my 2005 C230 SS I traded it in for a low mileage fully loaded 2006 A6 3.2 (car was built April 2006) ![Tear](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/tear.gif)
I looked at the 5 series and E class but the A6 to me was the best overall value.
I must say that it was really hard to leave my benz but I found a good deal and I had 52,000 miles on the benz so my warranty had ran out. Plus I have my 1st new born on the way so I was looking for something a little bigger.
I must say that my 2005 C230 SS did me well, it performed like a champ and gave me no real big issue.....man did I get attached to that car especially since I special ordered it just the way I wanted it. So I will always be a diehard Mercedes fan.![Wootrock](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wootrock.gif)
Feedback so far: The Audi steering is a little light, hard to feel engaged to the road at times but I like that fact sometimes and some other times I don't. Very smooth ride even with the 18 inch sport package wheels, good acceleration all around, paddle shifters work well, interior is awesome, so comfortable/roomy and the Nav/MMI is great. It's a bigger car so it sure does not turn like my benz, that I do miss. Plus there something about that benz logo and that new benz key that I miss.
I would like to thank everyone on these forums for all the help and feedback over the years. I will make it a point to drop by these forums every so often to stay in the loop since these forums have really helped me enjoy my ownership experience. Keep this awesome forum going.![Thankyou](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif)
Keep marching strong benz owners! I will look to jump back on board in 4 to 5 years.
